Lady in Red

"Kalanchoe Blossfeldiana"

or simply called Kalanchoe

in 3 irresistible shades of red..

Multiple petaled in mauve red

Single-petaled in chilly red

Doubled-petaled in pinkish red

Never knew kalanchoes come in such irresistible colors.

And never knew kalanchoes belong to the succulents family.

Which is good news for me as there is less watering to do.

And more time to feast in its beauty.

Love these tiny rosettes. 

A good replacement for the roses that failed to make it in my garden..lol!

  

The buds are simply gorgeous too.

This one is shaped like tiny buttercups

And here is a double-petaled of the above tiny buttercups in pinkish red.

Not sure how long I can have these beauties in my garden..

I was never good in handling succulents before.

Over-watering...., what else.

Need all the luck I can get :) 

Succulents

I'm hooked onto succulents these days..
Strange really... I'm so clueless about this group of plants yet I love them :)


Succulents..
Each one of them is so unique yet so beautiful in its own ways.

Simply lovely and gorgeous foliages in its entirety.

Here are my debut collections....for now.
Don't know if I would be able to keep them alive..just yet.
You see..they don't like to be watered or pampered,
"Just leave me alone..!!" attitude.
Okay..okay, I heard ya.

Haworthia cuspidata

 ID Unknown

Haworthia Attenuata

I must say, I fell in love at first sight with  "Haworthia Attenuata" ...
Its white stripe is so intricate and precious that it brings out its whole beauty.
Initially I thought it was in the "Aloe Vera" group because of its 'fingers' or claws.
And sadly... was I wrong! LOL!!

Oh succulents...
Why do you have such tougue-twisting names... :(
Excuse me dear botanists.... nothing personal really.
Just a matter of curiosity.
Or, am I the only one who's having a tough time pronouncing it?!

One important thing to note here is these succulents can't stand direct tropical sun or it will wilt.
It needs very shady area away from the sun.
Best kept indoors..good excuse for me to increase my houseplant collections :)
Maybe in your country zone you would be able to plant them under the sun.

Have a great day everyone and thank you for dropping by :-)
